Members of the Houthi movement “Ansar Allah” claimed a drone strike on a US destroyer in the Red Sea, Almayadeen reports.
On Al-Masirah TV channel, Yahya Saria, a spokesperson for the Houthis, said:
A US destroyer in the Red Sea was attacked with the help of several drones.
In addition, he also reported on the Yemeni navy’s operation against the British ship Islander in the Gulf of Aden. It involved the use of several anti-ship missiles, Saria explained.
The Houthis, who control much of Yemen’s Red Sea coastline, began attacking ships linked to Israel to stop its military actions against the Palestinians in Gaza.
In response to these actions, starting in mid-January, the US and Britain began conducting strikes against Houthi targets.
